EssaySnark's 2022-'23 MBA Admissions Essay Guide for Columbia

EssaySnark's Strategies for the 2022-'23 MBA Admissions Essays for Columbia Business School

Columbia has given you many choices with your application this year! One core goals question, and then three options, two of which need to be answered. Which do you choose? Should you write about your favorite song? Should you talk more about why Columbia is a good fit for you? Should you tackle that daunting question with the five skills about diversity, equity, and inclusion? What is the impact with various combinations of these options? Which combo will most people choose? The essay questions are one thing, and then there’s the overall strategy of when to submit and how to plan your approach. The rest of their admissions process can seem incredibly complicated, too. J-Term? Early Decision? Deferred Decision? Rolling Admissions? What do all these things mean?

EssaySnark’s 2022 MBA application Strategy Guide for Columbia Business School lays out the best strategies for a full-time applicant and explains where the advantages lie. We give you a simple map to the very different processes in effect at Columbia, and we explain who’s a good fit for which option. Importantly, we also tell you flat-out when you should apply, based on which program you’re targeting and which strategies you’ve adopted.

And of course we dissect the Columbia essays, in great detail, with a sketch of how to approach each one, and what combination might serve you the best. We cover the importance of career goals — including your so-called “dream job” — plus the (very short!) Columbia short-answer question about immediate post-MBA professional goals. Why you want to go to Columbia and fit. Pitfalls to watch for on song/book/movie prompt. What key objectives to be focusing on for all three of these important essays. You’ll get insights on tying it all together and making your essays stand out from the crowd. And, how do you handle the single letter of recommendation that they require.

This edition also includes insights on Columbia’s premier Value Investing Program, along with direct guidance on whether the J-Term might be a good option. We also of course lay out the advantages and some disadvantages to applying through Early Decision.

read it cover to cover

Just bought the Columbia guide and read it cover to cover. All the gazillion questions on what to cover and how much detailing that may come to a novice B school applicant as yours truly are covered. Needless to say highly recommend.

Awesome Product - Filled with Useful Information

I've purchased a lot of services through Essay Snark and have yet to be disappointed - the Columbia essay guide is no exception. This guide is not only worth the money, but is an essential resource for anyone considering applying to Columbia. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all of the content in this guide is useful - there is no fluff, just insightful advice on how to construct each Columbia essay. The guide offers a lot more detail than the content on the blog and will prove to be a valuable resource throughout my application process.

Buy this strategy guide!

This is an excellent product. EssaySnark provides concise and candid advice on how to handle Columbia Businesss School's essays. After reading, and rereading, this booklet I was left with a great sense of understanding what it is Columbia is looking for in their essays. It actually also taught me things about Columbia that I might not have learned elsewhere, which was very useful of course. I applied to Columbia with this booklet and EssaySnark's consulting services as my foundation, and received my acceptance call in late October. I wholeheartedly recommend buying this booklet if you want to master the Columbia essays and have a better shot at being accepted. I also recommend getting in touch with EssaySnark directly to use their consulting services. The process is brutal, time consuming and energy draining. The tools that EssaySnark provides can make the difference between a call from admissions saying you're accepted or receiving an email saying you didn't make the cut.
